Best way to get user GPS location in background in Android [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: Get GPS location via a service in Android (7 answers) Closed 3 years ago.

In my android app i want to get user current location every few minute interval and update in to my center server using web service. Currently i am using Fused Location Provide for get user current location, See link

now i want to know what is the best way to get user location frequently and call web service.

below is my code which gives me user current location: -

     locationrequest = LocationRequest.create();
     locationrequest.setInterval(10000);
     locationclient.requestLocationUpdates(locationrequest,new com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener() {

        @Override
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
              Log.i(TAG, "Last Known Location :" + location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude());
        }
    });

now from where i have to call this code. Can i use this in a background service or some where else.

Please provide your idea.

TIA.

use alarmmanager to invoke location service on fixed time interval in background

None of the rest of the answers use:

com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient

Which is the Fused Location Provider and the main entry point for interacting with the fused location provider by Google, and it is very hard to find a good example. This was released mid 2017 by Google.

Google Play services location APIs are preferred over the Android framework location APIs (android.location)

If you are currently using the Android framework location APIs, you are strongly encouraged to switch to the Google Play services location APIs as soon as possible.

For you to use the Google Location API, first add this to your build.gradle

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.0'

Then you can use this class Wherebouts.java:

import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Looper;
import android.util.Log;

import com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationResult;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationSettingsRequest;

/**
 * Uses Google Play API for obtaining device locations
 * Created by alejandro.tkachuk 
 * alejandro@calculistik.com

 */

public class Wherebouts {

    private static final Wherebouts instance = new Wherebouts();

    private static final String TAG = Wherebouts.class.getSimpleName();

    private FusedLocationProviderClient mFusedLocationClient;
    private LocationCallback locationCallback;
    private LocationRequest locationRequest;
    private LocationSettingsRequest locationSettingsRequest;

    private Workable<GPSPoint> workable;

    private static final long UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 1000;
    private static final long FASTEST_UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 1000;

    private Wherebouts() {
        this.locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
        this.locationRequest.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS);
        this.locationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS);
        this.locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);

        LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder();
        builder.addLocationRequest(this.locationRequest);
        this.locationSettingsRequest = builder.build();

        this.locationCallback = new LocationCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
                super.onLocationResult(locationResult); // why? this. is. retarded. Android.
                Location currentLocation = locationResult.getLastLocation();

                GPSPoint gpsPoint = new GPSPoint(currentLocation.getLatitude(), currentLocation.getLongitude());
                Log.i(TAG, "Location Callback results: " + gpsPoint);
                if (null != workable)
                    workable.work(gpsPoint);
            }
        };

        this.mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(MainApplication.getAppContext());
        this.mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(this.locationRequest,
                this.locationCallback, Looper.myLooper());
    }

    public static Wherebouts instance() {
        return instance;
    }

    public void onChange(Workable<GPSPoint> workable) {
        this.workable = workable;
    }

    public LocationSettingsRequest getLocationSettingsRequest() {
        return this.locationSettingsRequest;
    }

    public void stop() {
        Log.i(TAG, "stop() Stopping location tracking");
        this.mFusedLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(this.locationCallback);
    }

}

From your Activity, you can use it like this, by passing a Workable object. A Workable object is nothing more than a custom Callback alike object.

 Wherebouts.instance().onChange(workable);

By using a callback like Workable, you will write UI related code in your Activity and leave the hustle of working with GPS to a helper class, like Wherebouts.

    new Workable<GPSPoint>() {
        @Override
        public void work(GPSPoint gpsPoint) {
            // draw something in the UI with this new data
        }
    };

Of course you would need to ask for the corresponding permissions to the Android OS for your App to use. You can read the following documentation for more info about that or do some research.

@RafaelOliveira you are right, the users will need to update their Play Services to the latest. About the Android SDKs eligible: Android version 2.2 (API level 8) or later is good. Yes, this code (with some business modifications) was tested on an emulator and on a real LG Nexus 5x.
Thanks. I was having some issues to run the code and found a way to update Google Play on Android Studio emulator: stackoverflow.com/a/44614316/297632
@AlejandroPabloTkachuk yep, im looking for handlers for onNeedLocationChange, etc.. thanks for the code =)
Your answer is correct but Question is about to get location in background.
Yeah, this is foreground not background location tracking.

Add this dependency

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'

i use your code. but one problem in this. If my device is not move current location changed again and again.
Yes because I am using service class and in this service class I had used the timer. that time show the user current location on every 1 sec.
i am creating a project in which user register with current location and current location saved in sql database, how can i update users current location in database.,,
For this you can use the onlocationchangelistener() method. and On this method you can update the latitude and longitude in database. You want you update the database in background also..?
after registeration i get the lat long of all users and show into a listview .. after that click on listivew item and open googlemap for show the location of that user.. thats why i want to update database ,,have any idea for this..

@SahilChoudhary You are most welcome :)
@KetanRamani We need some clarification about these causes. Android OS sometime kill the background service, So how to get repetition location details?

Use : GCM Network Manager

Run this to start a periodic task that will be ran even after re-boot:

PeriodicTask task = new PeriodicTask.Builder()
    .setService(MyLocationService.class)
    .setTag("periodic")
    .setPeriod(30L)
    .setPersisted(true)
    .build();
mGcmNetworkManager.schedule(task);

then in onRunTask() get current location and use it (in this example, event is submitted at the end to let UI know that location was found):

    public void getLastKnownLocation() {
    Location lastKnownGPSLocation;
    Location lastKnownNetworkLocation;
    String gpsLocationProvider = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;
    String networkLocationProvider = LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;

    try {
        locationManager = (LocationManager) App.get().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        lastKnownNetworkLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(networkLocationProvider);
        lastKnownGPSLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(gpsLocationProvider);

        if (lastKnownGPSLocation != null) {
            Log.i(TAG, "lastKnownGPSLocation is used.");
            this.mCurrentLocation = lastKnownGPSLocation;
        } else if (lastKnownNetworkLocation != null) {
            Log.i(TAG, "lastKnownNetworkLocation is used.");
            this.mCurrentLocation = lastKnownNetworkLocation;
        } else {
            Log.e(TAG, "lastLocation is not known.");
            return;
        }

        LocationChangedEvent event = new LocationChangedEvent();
        event.setLocation(mCurrentLocation);
        EventHelper.publishEvent(event);

    } catch (SecurityException sex) {

    }

    return;

Also add these 2 to the AndroidManifest.xml:

 <manifest...
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

 <application...
 <service
        android:name=".api.location.MyLocationService"
        android:exported="true"
        android:permission="com.google.android.gms.permission.BIND_NETWORK_TASK_SERVICE">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.gcm.ACTION_TASK_READY" />
        </intent-filter>
    </service>

where does locationchangedevent comes from
is it a working code
is there an FCM version of this around ?
P
Pei

You have to create service.That service should implement LocationListener. Then You have to use AlarmManager for calling service repeatedly with certain time limit.

I hope this one will help to you :)


And this is all?

Save me hours of coding. Cheers mate!
@MukeshThakur have any idea about android O & above . In Android O background service are not working much more , so, However get the user location.
J
Jayakrishnan

With the help of GoogleApiClient's LocationServices API we can get the current location of the user/device in specific time interval. This can be added into a background service which updates the Activity when onLocationChanged callbacks

The background service will keep running as long as the application exists in the memory and sticks to the notification drawer. The service handles the following functionalities,

Connecting to Google LocationServices API

Getting the current location

Sharing the result to the Activity

Service With Location Listener

 public class LocationMonitoringService extends Service implements
    GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
    LocationListener {
    ...
    ...

    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    mLocationClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .addApi(LocationServices.API)
            .build();

    mLocationRequest.setInterval(10000); //10 secs
    mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000); //5 secs


    int priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY; //by default
    //PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY, PRIORITY_LOW_POWER, PRIORITY_NO_POWER are the other priority modes


    mLocationRequest.setPriority(priority);
    mLocationClient.connect();

    //Make it stick to the notification panel so it is less prone to get cancelled by the Operating System.

This is excellent, thanks for posting! Works perfectly in my app that needs location across multiple Activities. It might be worth adding the check for whether Location is enabled on the device. Permissions are one thing, whether Location is actually on is another - developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/…

You can archive it with a Service and Alarm Manager, but be careful with this, because if you setup a high priority you gonna drain the battery of the phone, in other hand, you really need notify the location every minute? This is because the only way to see a considerably change of the user location, it's traveling in a car or train. I only ask, because that gonna depend of you app and the requirement of the tracking.


yes,When user click on a button then app will get his location frequently and after a few time user will stop it.And my app is for getting driver location.
OK, so the user can't be affected for the requests and the service running in background, you only program the alarm every minute to launch a Intent to the Serbice, and the service take care of get and send the location. Your button only register and unregister the pending intent on your alarm manager.

Well Create a class extending Service ,this service will contain your Location listener class(Fused Location Provider) purpose of this service is to get location periodically , something like this

  public class LocationGetter extends Service {


    ......

    public class MyLocationListener implements GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,LocationListener, com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener {

   //your fused Location provider code

    }

    ......

}

Then create a class extending Broadcast Receiver , such that the purpose of this broadcast Receiver is to check whether service is alive if not restart service even during phone ON/OFF ....

register receiver in ur activity , listen for broadcasts , unregeister receiver depending ur need...

To get callback on LocationChange

Define an interface

public interface LocationCallback {
public void locationChanged(Location location);
}

Callback in your Activity

public static LocationCallback callback;
public void getUserLocation() {

    callback = new LocationCallback() {
        @Override
        public void locationChanged(Location location) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    };

    Intent service_intent = new Intent(this, GPSService.class);
    startService(service_intent);

}

Change onLocationChange Method to

@Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        Log.e(TAG, "onLocationChanged: " + location);
        MapsActivity.callback.locationChanged(location);
        mLastLocation.set(location);
    }

Please include all relevant code in your post and don't just include a link to github. Your post should stand alone from any other resource; consider what would happen if github went down in the future! (It would be terrible, we know.)
